WATCH: Gerard Pique's late goal gives Spain victory in Euro 2016 opener

Spain have won their opening Group D match against the Czech Republic in the 2016 European Championships. Four Barcelona players (Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, and Sergio Busquets) got the start for La Roja in the match. They came into the opener coming off an embarrassing loss to Georgia, but have rebounded nicely with a 1-0 win.

It was Pique who got Spain the win with a late match-winning goal in the 87th minute. Not only did a Barcelona man score the goal, one also set it up with Andres Iniesta delivering a peach of a ball for the big man to head in.
